Ocean Discovery – Kobe/Osaka, Naha & Busan

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 12-night sailing leaves Yokohama on June 20, 2028 and visits Kobe (Osaka), Naha, Busan, Nagasaki, Kagoshima and Shimizu. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Street food that'll ruin you for takeaway back home, ancient shrines, and cities that run like clockwork. Kagoshima alone is worth the trip, Japan's Naples, in the shadow of Sakurajima. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Solstice has 10 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Yokohama itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
